Final Documentary Construction

Constructive Criticism

The pictures and text for the double page spread are awkwardly positioned.
The newspaper ad can not be designed so simply, image used should send off controversial messages to grab the viewer's interest. The text needs to be a bit bigger, as it is not clear enough to read properly. The image used does not send off the message that the documentary sends off.

The Advert should have:
- the channels logo
- photography/ dependent (Graphic) ??
- time, channel, date
- Title of doumentary

The Double page spread shoud have:
- specific size of the magazine
- Title (clear & bold)
- Subtitles
- By line e.g. By Rachael Rubio
- columns of text (about the article)
- Pull Quote(s)
- page number
- graphic designs
- size variation [small, medium, large]
- different shapes
- a colour scheme

What went well: People thought that the image was good to use as it grabbed attention, and to make the statement made in the image the main title.
Even better if:

Newspaper Advertisement

I tried to keep in mind that Metro newspaper tend to limit the amount of information to advertise for different TV programmes.

Chosen Newspaper for Ancillary tasks

I chose METRO Newspaper because it is a free newspaper accessible to everyone, matching my target audience for my documentary. Also it is one of the most successful and well-known newspapers selling in the UK. METRO has gone international and has updated to the modern age online with e-METRO, allowing readers to view newspapers online and flick through.

Idents

I decided to work with Channel 5 as they broadcast documentaries which have controversial and social issues, which make the society/viewers/the public question and think about the message the documentary is trying to send out.

http://about.five.tv/ Rate Card 2008
At present 94% of all UK households can receive Five, equating to around 54.3m people. In theory, we can be seen in 100% of all homes with the use of digital technology. Therefore, homes that do not receive a terrestrial signal for Five can do so via a digital feed (digital terrestrial-Freeview / digital satellite / digital cable). The average daily reach is around 19.4% or the equivalent of 10.9m individuals. From the launch of Five US and Five Life (now Fiver) in October 2006, until the end of 2007, just under 34 million people tuned-in to sample the programming of either one or both of the channels. On a weekly basis, more than 8.2 million people chose to tune-in to our digital channels in 2007.

Five aims to reflect the diversity of our society across the full range of our programmes. Five is also a member of the Cultural Diversity Network - an organisation that works with its members to share expertise and models of good practice.


I found the following Channel5 idents interesting as they don't typically show and mention the channel (eg channel 4, bbc1, itv1), they reveal words that send out messages, which are relevant to the programmes that they broadcast.















I decided to use the ident below as the word 'free' relates to the idea that we are all free to do what we want, the freewill to do as they please. My documentary questions if people should be able to do graffiti/street art on the streets of London.

Storyboards

These are the notes that I made in order to give structure to my storyboard with music and voiceover in mind.

Voiceover Audio Files

I created my own music using aviary

Beat1 (Including Intro).egg on Aviary.

Beat2.egg on Aviary.

Beat3.egg on Aviary.

To use the audio from filmed footage, i converted the files to a wav format on zamzar.com.
I plan to transfer these music files to iTunes so that it will be easier to work with on iMovie09.

Updates with documentary

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUaUDZAGUOM
Here is a documentary i watched. the first few minutes to the opening of this episode helped me structure the storyboard for my 5 minute extract.

i have now adjusted myself to iMovie09. It was difficult to use at first, but now i feel that now i know how to work on certain areas better on the software. Even though i still some areas tricky, i feel other areas are much easier now.

i plan to produce my own piece of music to play in the background on aviary.com

Here is one of the tunes I made that I could apply to my documentary.

Intro Test.egg on Aviary.


After revising over several art documentaries, I came up with another draft for the storyboard.
